Comment(by mwtoews):

 beta5 is not comparable, yet. Compare beta4:
  * http://postgis.refractions.net/download/postgis-2.0.0beta4.tar.gz
   - 5.18 MB
   - processed by `make_dist.sh`, many files removed
  * http://postgis.refractions.net/download/postgis-2.0.0beta4SVN.tar.gz
   - 11.6 MB
   - SVN snapshot, not processed by `make_dist.sh`, so has many extra
 files, and no `postgis_svn_revision.h` (#1716)

 The file size differences are in the `doc/html` directory.

 Why is the download URL for beta4 not visible at
 http://postgis.refractions.net/download/? Only the SVN snapshots are
 visible. I think some folks are testing the wrong tar.gz files.
